Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Advances in science are made when the scientific community shares and debates ideas and results openly. In this process there will be controversy and strong disagreements. No study is perfect: many suffer from inconsistencies, methodologic problems, and novel findings that often have very low prior probabilities. An open debate is a healthy and necessary part of this process and we should not seek to hide or avoid a constructive discussion by reporting selectively. |
